Fort Adams is brought to life each year thanks to an incredible community of volunteers who contribute thousands of hours supporting the Fort’s programs, events, and ongoing restoration.
Whether you’re looking to give back, meet new people, or simply spend time at one of Newport’s most unique historic sites, there are many ways to get involved.
Volunteers help welcome visitors, support events, assist in the gift shop, and contribute to hands-on projects like painting, carpentry, and grounds care.
Whether you can join us regularly or just once in a while, we’d love to have you involved.
